Getting a t-bag and whistle is a true compliment.
This person came all the way out into the open from the safety of the bushes to share their location with all your teammates because you made them salty.

Yup, this system was fine as it still is nice to have additional soldiers to be able to switch faster. But, it doesn't completely limit newer players to a single loadout.
Now, if you are a new player and you go in with a Greaser but need a Garand, or if you went in without AT, then GG.
It just gimps newer players. Vets don't need even more help. We need more productive new players.

I honestly have no problem with H3s being GE only. Just have AT unlock at the same level across factions.
What I don't get:
Why is the zooka (the first launcher) unlocked at a higher level on SU than on US and GE? It should be the same.
Why does GE have much easier/cheaper access to AT compared to US and SU? You can easily buy out the first levels of the AT ribbon on GE, while you actually gotta grind up to level 5 on the other factions. They should all be the same here.
